    Default Iran claims to have found herbal cure for AIDS.

    First off I got this off another forum. Who knows if this is real or not, do not be surprised to not find this all up in the media because it would be a huge blow to pharmaceutical companies and such. If this is real this is HUGE news.

    Iran claims found herbal cure for AIDS; Ahmadinejad vows Islamic Republic's nuclear rights 'will be established' on Feb. 11

    On the same day that Iranian scientists claimed that they have discovered a herbal cure for AIDS, President Ahmadinejad vowed that on February 11 the Islamic Republic's nuclear rights "will be established."

    "The drug named 'IMOD' is completely effective and safe with no proved side effects," Iran's Minister of Health, Treatment and Medical Training Kamran Bagheri Lankarani said, according to Fars News Agency, which bills itself as independent, but the BBC describes as "affiliated" to Iran's judiciary.

    The herbal medicine produced, "after seven long years of arduous work," by Iranian scientists "strengthens [the] immunity system of the patients against HIV and provides a more qualitative life for the affected population," the article continues.

    UPI reports that the "state-controlled IRNA news agency quoted an unidentified ministry employee as saying, 'The research studies to find out a formula to cure AIDS was initiated during the tenure of two former health ministers and have led to useful results.'"

    Former Minister of Health and Medical Education Dr. Mohammad Farhadi said the chemical and herbal treatment appeared effective on other immune disorders as well.

    "The theory was to determine whether or not it is possible to boost the immunity system of the body," former Minister of Health and Medical Education Dr. Mohammad Farhadi said in the IRNA report, according to UPI. "Some 60 projects were initiated to attain the result."

    "The herbal-based medication, called IMOD, serves to control the AIDS virus and increases the body's immunity," Baqeri Lankarani was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA.

    "It is not a medication to kill the virus, it rather can be used besides other anti-retroviral drugs," Baqeri Lankarani said on state radio.

    The drug, made after five years of research, has been tested on 200 patients, IRNA said, adding that it is considered the fifth generation of medications helping control the HIV/AIDS virus.

    "This is a substance good for both AIDS patients and those who carry the virus without showing the symptoms," the director of the project, Mohammad Farhadi, told state television.

    Farhadi said the medication will now be tested on some 3,000 to 5,000 Iranian patients in the next year to monitor its efficacy.

    Health Minister Baqeri Lankarani said that the number of HIV/AIDS cases in Iran stands at around 14,000 while 1,700 people have died of the disease.

    Last June, Iranian officials warned about the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS infections in the country due to a surge in intravenous drug usage.

    "If no action is taken against the spread of this disease as quickly as possible, the number of those infected will reach 100,000 by the end of the next Iranian year (March 2008)," said Iran's deputy health minister, Moayed Alavian.

    Iran is believed to have at least two million regular drug users -- and possibly as many as 3.5 million. Alavian said addiction is growing by around eight percent a year.

    Intravenous drug use is believed to be the main cause of HIV/AIDS infection at 62.3 percent, followed by "unknown causes" at 27.9 percent and sexual contact at 7.4 percent.

    According to another Fars article, "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that his administration is going to publicize the country's remarkable progresses and achievements within the coming days."
    Intellectual discussion please! Whether it be real or not, what if?

    It seems that even if you didn't have aids this would be a awesome supplement to use to boost your immune system. Given it is true and proved around the world that is.
